I\u2019ve covered a lot of gaming conventions in my time. Innumerable PAXes, E3 once, and a few Tokyo Game Shows. None of them match the immaculate vibes of BitSummit, Japan\u2019s indie gaming convention.<\/p>\n

From developers fresh out of University to seasoned vets striking out on their own, an infectious enthusiasm for this hobby we all love takes over Kyoto for a weekend \u2013 made all the better this year as the showrunners bumped BitSummit up from a sweltering July to a bearable May.<\/p>\n

Despite the heat, last year<\/a> I saw a renewed enthusiasm for Nintendo as the Switch 2 had just been released. This year, it was almost impossible to choose just 10 games that will eventually<\/em> make their way onto the Switch 1 or 2, so I\u2019ve upped it to 12.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve confirmed with each and every developer below that their game is either coming to a Switch console or they\u2019re earnestly trying to get there, as Nintendo is still playing a bit coy with Switch 2 dev kits.<\/p>\n
